9:25 Thursday 12th of October 2017

A man is due to appear in court this morning charged in relation to a sickening sexual assault that was carried out in the early hours of Monday morning in Dublin.

The man, who is in his 30s, is due to appear at Dublin District Court Criminal Courts of Justice at 10.30am on charged in relation to a serious sexual assault on Parnell Place in Dublin 1.

The man was arrested after allegedly attacking a Portuguese woman at around 3am on Monday morning. Yesterday, the Irish Independent reported that residents in the area raised the alarm when they heard the woman in distress and Gardaí responded quickly enough to catch the man while he was carrying out the alleged attack.

The man was arrested but became ill shortly afterwards and required medical treatment at the Mater Hospital, before he quizzed further last night in relation to the incident.
